New Jersey is called the Garden State for a reason, Virginia has a lot of agriculture, Pennsylvania is agricultural. While VA and PA have Trump supporters, they are probably not going to stop growing food or milking their cows over all this. I grew up 2 miles from NYC in north NJ. From 1943 to 1955 we plowed up our lawns and grew and preserved from 1/3rd to 1/5th of all the food we ate. As a child and young teen I worked a lot in the garden and my father let me sell surplus and keep the money for savings.

Jersey was named that in another life time.
It is bottom ten in farming vs other states.
